I recently got my hands on a couple of 3-5 year old servers, one of which runs an 1155 i7 and the other an 1155 xeon (on a xeon board). the mobo in the i7 is fried and I intend on making a second gaming rig with some other parts I've got lying around. I was just curious as to whether the i7 is compatible with a xeon board of the same chips, and as to whether or not installing the i7 could damage the board at all.
